Got Drunk in Public, with 2 DUI's in California
Hi,
I got 2 DUIs in California. Both in Orange County. 1st was in 2004 (I was 20 and blew 0.08) and the other one was in 2007 (blew 0.06 but got charged because i was on Informal probation). For the second DUI, I got 5 years of informal probation and got 90 days jail. I finished the 18 month program without any problems or delays. I have my license back and everything else. a few days ago i got charged with Drunk in Public in Downtown fullerton. Someone pushed me, I pushed him back, blah blah blah cops came I got arrested ( I was the only one to get arrested b/c the other guy's friends all pointed finger at me). Im still on 5 year infromal probations (started 12-6-2007). I have to go to court on 8-4-2010. What can i expect from the judge?? Am I basically srewed? Anything i can do to get the charge dropped?
Is it likely i will get jail time (REALLY cant afford it). If so, how long?
If i fight the charge, how likely is it that the cop will show up to testify? How likely is the court to even try to get me in trouble for something like that?
Thanks EVERYONE! Im stressing HARD so PLEASE let me know. And let me know if you know anyone in the same situation and what happened! THANK U AGAIN!

This somehow fell through the cracks.
Did your probation prohibit drinking alcohol?
You can expect that all required witnesses will appear at a probation violation hearing.
How did things turn out?
